PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

So this isn’t exactly timely anymore, but in belated honor of Independence Day, here’s a list of the top best American-born players from the 2013 campaign. (Sporting News)

Tyler Seguin is “excited” to shift back to center as one of the newest members of the Dallas Stars. (Stars.nhl.com)

Oklahoma City Barons head coach Todd Nelson is disappointed that his parent club, the Edmonton Oilers, chose to select Dallas Eakins as their new bench boss over him. Nevertheless, he feels he’s very close to landing an NHL gig. (Edmonton Journal)

Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk has been the most difficult goalies to score against this season. Leave it to a high-level player like Leon Draisaitl to make it look this, well, “easy.”

Draisaitl scored his 13th goal of 2016-17 by capping this pretty give-and-go play with Benoit Pouliot. You can see the frustration from Dubnyk at the end of the tally, as if he was saying “How was I supposed to stop that?” (though probably with more colorful language).

Draisaitl came into Friday with five goals and three assists in his last five games, so he’s been almost unstoppable lately.
